I am so unhappy with my workout today. Those damn lunges again!
NROL Break-In Workout A (3rd time)
Squat
15 x 45
15 x 45
Superset Static Lunge with 2pt DB row elbows out
Lunge
(I went with my weakest leg out front first -- my right -- as soon as I started I felt a searing pain in my left quad. I stopped and switched to my left leg out and managed to eek out 15. But, I knew I couldn't go any further with my left quad in so much pain. DAMN!)
DB Row
15 x 17.5
15 x 17.5
(went up in weight on this and managed all reps without a problem, so will try 20 next time)
Superset Push-ups with Swiss ball crunch
Push-up
15 incline on Smith Machine Bar
15 incline on Smith Machine Bar
(I lowered the bar from last time and managed all reps -- hard, but making progress)
SB Crunch
20 x bw
20 x bw
So, the good things out of the workout are that all exercises except the lunge were a success. I even used the squat rack for the first time with the Olympic bar. But, I fear that my left quad is really going to hold me back from Workout B on Thursday. Step-ups are my other problem spot and with this pain, there is no way. So, I think that Break-In will have to extended for me most likely. I really don't want to move on until I have mastered those damn lunges and step-ups. Anyone else take Break-In a bit further before moving on?
I did a metabolic overdrive workout on Saturday -- good thing because I couldn't manage it today.
